[Intro]
E   D A E    D A E
 
[Verse 1]
E
I took a trip down to Old Mexico
      D                A          E
I was lookin' for some fun and laughter
E
I met a woman said gimme your money
         D             A              E
And I'll show you everything you're after
E
I was taken to a sleazy room
        D           A           E
And she handed me a Mexican cocktail
E
When I woke up in the mornin' light
        D             A        E
I was a locked in the county jail
 
[Chorus]
E
I was broke
            D
I was busted
A     E
I was broke
            D A E
I was busted
 
[Verse 2]
E
Paid the man some to set me free
      D              A     E
And I headed for the borderline
E
Cross the frontier and I drove like the devil
D             A           E
Tryin' to get back to the shack that was mine
E
"Pull over son" said the man with the gun
     D                       E
"I believe your breakin' the law"
E
Open the trunk and my heart just sunk
  D               A          E
I knew they gotta had it for sure
 
[Chorus]
E
I was broke
            D
I was busted
A     E
I was broke
            D A E
I was busted

D         A     E
Mama mama I was busted
E

D     A     E
Yeah, I was busted
D     A     E      D
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama, mama
